lyrics

PEARLS (Watson / Seagroatt)

Trawling the outer limits,
My treasures keep falling,
I salvage scents and scraps of gold.

Searching for shreds of insight,
It’s dark at the perimeter,
Shadows and nebulous designs.

As I move back and forth,
Spanning wide in a curve.

chorus
However I spread the net,
I find accidental pearls.
A stone in the shape of a hand,
A piece of wreckage tangled in,
A passing breath of salt and skin.

Sifting it like a scavenger,
Worry some pieces into shape,
Something to take us somewhere close.

Take this fugitive sound,
Fix and channel it down.

chorus
However (repeat chorus).

As I angle the line,
Marking out by degrees.

chorus
However I spread the net,
I find accidental pearls.
A stone in the shape of a hand,
A piece of wreckage tangled in,
A passing breath of salt and skin x 3
